The strategy of protecting your energy to avoid burnout
You know how much emphasis we put on leaning into what feels good in business and preserving your energy as the business owner.
Let’s face it, the old 100% hustle model is old and outdated.
What’s the point of the grind, the sweat and tears if you’re left feeling like a shell of your former self?
It is enough to make you want to give up on your business and place it in the too hard basket.
We know how much you love your business, and that you’re an ambitious entrepreneur - but where there is light there is also dark. And unfortunately the SHADOW of go getters is that sometimes we can disown our own wellbeing in pursuit of our dreams.
And if you’re in this headspace right now - where you’re feeling BURIED under the weight of your to-do list, the expectations and money worries in your business - we’re here to help!
Because we’ve been there.

Strategies to protect your energy
Set clear boundaries: When it comes to tech, communication and your working rhythm, there should be CLEAR distinction between work time and down time.
You don't need to be doing it all on your own: There are MANY amazing people that can help you bring your business dream to life. Train them and brief them well and meet with them often AND then trust them to get the job done
The power of delegation: You may think no one can do it like you can! As business owners you have to find the balance between allowing your team freedom to get the work done (ie not micromanaging) AND ensuring the work is quality.
Let go of the need for things to be “perfect”: Your need for perfectionism is KILLING your energy. The constant merry go round of needing things to be PERFECTLY executed until you hit GO on your projects is taking up WAY TOO MUCH mental space.
Eat your frogs: The thing that’s on your mind that you’re procrastinating on is taking up a lot of mental space. Carve out time for an hour of power every now and again to get BIG PICTURE projects done that free up your time in the long run.
